Why nonathlete people shouldn’t training hard like pro athlete?

Pro athletes training hard for competition, they also get paid monthly as pro athlete (this is their job right? Paid for training and competing, no wonder). In martial art sports, they also doing various extreme training like sparring fight in Boxing or acrobatic jumps in Wushu Taolu.

Look at these injuries that often happen in training and competition:

How about the medical fee? Pro athletes are different with ordinary people. Pro athletes have sponsor and organization who will support their career in sport, including paying medical fee whenever they injury during training or tournament.

And how about nonathletes who don’t have sponsor? Who will pay the medical fee?
